CMC Biologics and OncoSynergy announced today that the two companies entered into an agreement for cell-line development, process development, analytical development and manufacturing of non-GMP material to enable early toxicology testing and cGMP material for IND enabling toxicology studies and Phase I clinical trials. This work will advance OncoSynergy's OS2966 monoclonal antibody program based on its "Targeted Synergy" approach - a transformative strategy allowing broad inhibition of multiple fundamental cancer growth mechanisms with a single drug.

The project will be executed by CMC Biologics at its Copenhagen development and manufacturing facility. OncoSynergy EU SAS in France will lead the project.

"We are impressed with CMC Biologics' experience and technical competency in biopharmaceutical development and cGMP manufacturing," said OncoSynergy Co-Founder and CEO, Shawn Carbonell, MD, PhD. "Choosing a partner who can provide a complete solution - from expression of the sequence of interest, to providing material suitable for clinical trials - was a critical decision as we advance our lead candidate. They have also shown flexibility to accommodate our unique program needs as a virtual startup company."
